Check printer head latch - no printing!

Hello,
I got my XJ6C from a friend. I've changed all cartridges to new ones. The printer tries to take the paper to start printing, but apparently doesn't succeed in it (I hear the typical sound of trying to catch the paper). In the Maintenance-tab I read: "check the printer head latch", but that is closed, thus OK. I don't understand why I don't get any prints out of it. Anyone can help, please?
Thank you very much!
Philippe

You likely have separate ink cartridges and print heads on your printer. Double check your printer manufacturer and model on the net and see if that's the case. You likely will have to either replace the print heads. I've also had to clean the membrane between the cartridge and the print head which gets a dried coating on it periodically. try recommended isopropyl alcohol and water mix and put a few droplets on the membrane, let sit for a half hour and see if the droplets have passed through the membrane to the heads. Although all the efforts usually are in vain in the older type printers, if head replacements doesn't work, or what i suggested, then get a new printer. It 's cheaper. and the new ones have solved a lot of the older dried head problems.
